When sharpening a spindle roughing gouge, is it acceptable practice to rest the butt of the tool in the v-pocket of the wolverine jig, and rest the bevel on the wheel for grinding - or will that tend to wedge the tool between the pocket and stone? This question assumes about a 45° angle for the bevel.
I figure it's ok, but I have just enough doubt about that to ask.
The other option is just to use the platform, but it doesn't give results as smooth since it relies on my fat fumble fingers to hold it steady.
